Will costs continue to cage Laos’ regional connectivity?
By: Buavanh Vilavong (Ph.D. candidate at the Australian National University), East Asia Forum, January 13, 2018
Laos is among the fastest growing economies in Southeast Asia: economic growth has averaged 7.8 per cent over the past decade. Despite the slow recovery of the global economy, the country’s growth rate was 6.9 per cent in 2017 and is expected to be 7 per cent in 2018. This is buoyed by an expansion in electricity production, manufacturing and agriculture, and it occurs despite a slight drop in tourist arrivals.
